Range & mixture ?

[rigger]

This weekend will be the first time I will be riding my new/used Banshee.

 

Just wondering if you guys could tell me what kind of a fuel range I can expect out of a Banshee with stock tank, normal mods, pipes and such.

 

This is trail riding, no MX. I am not a hard rider but I will play with it.

 

Also I was recomended to run Maxima Castor 927 oil. What ratios are you mixing Banshees at? I Mixed my first tank at 32:1. Should I keep it at that or can I drop it back to a 40 or even 50:1 ?

 

Thanks

trail riding i usally get a good few hours on a full tank

i run castor 927 at 44:1

stick with your ratio and such, i would not go much lower then 40:1 its been dyno showed that the heavy the mix the better, 32:1 came out as best mix for all around purpose

 

i get about 1 hour tank of gas, always on the pipe, 1 3/4 without going super fast

I run at 40:1 ratio and i never foul a plug and the smoke out of the pipes are just right. Not to much, but enough to see thier working.

there is a thread about the lenght of time on a tank of gas on here some where, but i say 3-4 hrs on a bolt on modded shee.

yea if your playin expect 2 hours give or take. 32:1 is where most banshees are happy. hell my pocketbike liked that mix too (but it smoked like a frenchmen)

Well I ran a 20 mile trail yesterday and did not hit reserve. It has got to be close though. That was jut trail ridding, playing around and getting on the pipe where the trail allowed.

 

I will put fuel back in her today and see what it really used to judge an average distance for trails. When I do, I will let you guys know what I find it to be.

most of the poker runs i go on are 20-25 miles, some about 28 or so. i usally make it thru fine without tapping the reserve, and that's with the occasional play areas with some hill climbs, jumps etc. most rides are like yours, in and out of trails, slow trails, fast trails... a pretty good mix of things.

Well I started with a full 3 gallon tank. Rode the 20 miles. Put a little less than 2 gallons back in her today. So you could say you have about a 10-11 mpg average trail riding. I am assuming the reserve is about a 1/2 gallon so if that is true then I should be able to get atbout 25 miles of trails before hitting reserve.
